Lyrics

Looking around me I see more than I want to

Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of surroundings.

Feeling like less instead of what I once thought to

Feeling diminished compared to previous self-perceptions.

Be in this life they've given a lot to hold on to

Acknowledging the material possessions and experiences acquired in life.

But who I am now's not the same one that I knew

Reflecting on personal growth and change over time.

Look around they said, instead of looking down

Advisory to observe the world rather than focus on personal issues.

But every time I've done that, I don't like what I've found

Discontent with self-discovery when looking around.

This skin I wear is mine indeed

Asserting ownership of physical self (body and face).

My face is too, in certainty

Emphasizing certainty in personal identity.

But looking in the mirror at what I see

Expressing dissatisfaction with the reflection in the mirror.

It's not what I like, who I want to be

Desire for a different, preferred self-image.

When the day breaks, I find myself in another standoff

Encountering challenges when a new day begins.

The glass in front will smirk and scoff I'll move along

Confronting a mocking or challenging reflection in glass.

Thinking I'd be better off, and looking like a step above

Considering the possibility of being better off without the current self.

Wearing someone else's

Symbolic representation of adopting someone else's identity or persona.

Wearing someone else's

-

After looking around I can't look back down

Aversion to looking back down after looking around.

My head's stuck on a swivel

Feeling mentally stuck and unable to solve a complex problem.

Can't think, man it's a riddle

-

Am I looking for the world?

Searching for meaning or purpose symbolized by a simple symbol or impulse.

Nah, just some kind symbol

-

Maybe some kind of impulse

-

Yeah, something so simple

-

Milling about a group of like minded personnel

Observing a group with shared interests, yet lacking direction and purpose.

United and pushing forward, but they couldn't tell

-

Where they were going, why they were breathing, they weren't thinking

-

They keep walking and walking to ascend, walk and descend my friend without seeing the end

Reflecting on a continuous journey without clear goals or understanding of the destination.

When the day breaks, I find myself in another standoff

Repetition of the theme of confronting challenges at the beginning of a new day.

The glass in front will smirk and scoff I'll move along

-

Thinking I'd be better off, and looking like a step above

-

Wearing someone else's

Repetition of wearing someone else's identity, suggesting internal conflict.

Wearing someone else's

-

I'll hustle but what's the goal?

Questioning personal goals and the source of one's dreams.

Whose dream am I pushing towards?

-

I'll struggle, but I gotta know

-

Whose dream am I pushing for?

-

Look around they said instead of looking down

Reiteration of discontent with personal appearance and the desire for change.

But every time I've done that I don't like what I've found

-

This skin I wear is mine indeed

-

My face is too, in certainty

-

But looking in the mirror at what I see

-

It's not what I like, who I want to be

-

Looking around me I see more than I want to

Repetition of dissatisfaction with the current state of surroundings and self.

Feeling like less instead of what I once thought to

-

Be in this life they've given a lot to hold on to

-

But who I am now's not the same one that I knew

-

Looking like a step above

Expressing an elevated status compared to the current self.

Wearing someone else's (When the day breaks)

Repetition of adopting someone else's identity when the day breaks.

Wearing someone else's (When the day breaks)

-

Look around they said instead of looking down

Reiteration of advice to look around instead of looking down, dissatisfaction with self-appearance, and the desire for change.

But every time I've done that I don't like what I've found

-

This skin I wear is mine indeed

-

My face is too, in certainty

-

But looking in the mirror at what I see

-

It's just what I like who I want to be

Reaffirmation of the desire to be who they like and want to be.
